Bakewell Tarts

This is from "The great Canadian cookbook" -a celebration of great Canadian cooking- I am not sure if it is authentic or anything like that. I just know it sounds like it would be yummy. I have not tried these yet. It does not come with a pastry recipe, nor does it give an amount for Jam. I am guessing here.
